Colorado would have to ramp up spending by $10 million this year just to eliminate the waitlist of older people who’ve asked for food, in-home services and transportation.
Colorado is now the third fastest aging state in the nation, with one-quarter of the population projected to be over 60 by 2050 .
All of the 10 oldest counties in Colorado are rural.
Inflation is outpacing funding, so the cost to eliminate waitlists just keeps rising.
To spare cuts in food and in-home care, state officials sacrificed counseling, education and other services.
In Adams County , county commissioners pitched in an emergency $ 50,000 at the end of 2023 to keep Meals on Wheels running.
Steve Lasswell , 76 , and Allen Brunke , 73 , moved to Custer County , Colorado , to retire and stare at a “ billion-dollar view” that includes four 14,000-foot mountains.
“I’ll just get more ornery, that’s all.” Brice Berkeland , 68 , said he isn’t moving, either. “We will never move from here,” he said.
